1993.11.16 09:54 "Decompressing images having 5 samples per pixel", by Olli Raisa
Libtiff may have a bug in decompressing images having more than 4 samples per pixel. Below you will find more detailed information of a file that is written by PhotoShop 2.5 (Macintosh). If the image is written without compression I can read it with libtiff 3.30beta (SunOS 5.2) correctly. With LZW compression I get vertical stripes in a part of the image.

BTW, what is the status of JPEG compression in libtiff?
